Good morning! My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict. There are some days, well I can't lie, most days, where I want things my way and where I worry. I know I need to give every day to God and give Him full control. I need to give Him the steering wheel. I always seem to grab it back. I need to let it go and give it to God. I know all this in my head and, yes, it is easy for me to type this out, but to actually live it, on a daily basis, is a whole nother ballgame. Ideas and quotes sound really nice but actually living them and working them is hard. Praying helps. Starting each morning, waking up and before I get out of bed and put my two feet on the ground, say a few word to God, first of all thanking Him for another day of life, and giving Him the day before me for His will and His good. I ask Him for guidance through the day. When I was drinking and using, I would only pray when I needed something, or to beg for forgiveness. It was pretty pathetic. Today I can pray for many different things. That's all I got for today. Have a great one!
